This is a lesson in liberty, amongst many others, that Dubbyuh and his band of thugs have chosen to ignore. With the abuses perpetrated in Afghanistan, Iraq and GITMO...The innocents rounded up indiscriminately, with no judicial review...American citizens detained indefinitely by presidential fiat...Assassinations carried out against suspected terrorists outside the purview of any oversight.

Despite Dubbyuh's stated commitment to the promotion of individual rights and freedoms, his record speaks otherwise. Under Dubbyuh's administration, basic rights to liberty and due process have been denied and secret assassination of suspected terrorists have become the norm. This Administration is the greatest enemy the Republic, and the Constitution it is built upon, have ever faced. It is time to remove this stain on American's heritage of freedom before those freedoms are gone for ever. It matters not if it is by ballot or impeachment, but the sooner...the better.

We offer our enemies justice. If they refuse us with force, we give them justice. I doubt Mr. Paine would object to our infringement of the constitutional rights of enemy combatants and foreign terrorists, because they have no rights under our Constitution. I'll bet Thomas Paine, unlike some others, was rational enough to understand the realities of our times.

At any rate, I believe he was referring to political enemies and the danger of subverting legitimate political dissent.

Bertrand Russell, while a genius, was also a sick fuck who drove his son insane by sleeping with his son's wife.
